Best to you, Maestro Healy "
Hats off to all the tapers!
There were recordings being made by different folks for different purposes in the 80's and 90's. The PCM's were the "vault" recordings, but other recordings were made for members of the crew, family, and the various hangers-on.
Joani Walker was a taper in the late 70's and early 80's (23 Nov 1978; 16 Dec 1978; 17 Dec 1978 are among three of her great recordings) who befriended Dan Healy. She eventually became the overseer of taping duties at the board, she sat with a table full of recorders and made tapes for crew and family, primarily cassettes. Her SBD cassette recordings have circulated for years in tape form, and now digital. She has shared many recordings with Charlie Miller who has transferred, mastered, and circulated many fine recordings that Joani made over the years.
Healy's matrix recordings were done on PCM gear (so he could get the timing right), and have that hall ambience combined with the SBD clarity.
